"Small is beautiful". A lightweight expedition to tackle a smaller peak is, many climbers now believe, cheaper, safer and a lot more fun than the big enornously costly expeditions that capture the publicity. Lightweight expeditions can be undertaken by any climber, they are far more satisfying for the individual concerned and much less damaging to the mountain environment too. But how to go about oprganizing such an expedition? In this book, Rob Callister provides all the information needed to plan, equip and carry out a lightweight expedition, drawing on his almost 20 years' experience of expeditioning worldwide.
